@EuphoriTori
"her father and I both agree she should wait until coming out"... There seems to be someone VERY important here who's opinion isn't being considered. And, to be honest, who's opinion is the only one that should matter.
@jessiegender
Forbes spitting fire with the closing line: "fans have to reckon with Rowling who is now actively weighing into the 'should you buy/play Hogwarts Legacy?' debate, and making a pretty good case that maybe no, you shouldn’t."
@ExTrans_Leftist
So, let me understand this correctly: You thought you wanted to transition - but did not take any steps toward it, and later realized you didn't want to?
That seems like the system that was currently in place worked, no?
@AriDrennen
Reading the comments on that thread is like... literally everything we have been saying about the anti-trans panic hurting cis women encapsulated and magnified.
@AriDrennen
Didn't he also do an interview where he said they originally wanted to do a documentary with them joining womens leagues, but when they tried they found out it wouldn't work since they'd have to actually start transitioning?
@F1NN5TER
@InTheLittleWood
"it's nuanced and we want to chat" means "it wasn't against the rules and we don't want our comments to be in writing". Make sure you record the conversation.
@ErinInTheMorn
So, this 100% includes any kind of push up bra, butt lifting leggings, etc.
So, literally every dance troupe, cheerleading squad, etc. should be banned by this.
But, we all know this will 100% be a Yick Wo v. Hopkins situation.

@atlaswuzhere
You want to point to John Money? Good - he was a cis man who tried desperately to prove that trans people didn't exist by forcing a kid to live as a gender other than their own. It didn't work and he is unuversaly reviled by trans people.
@gaynarcan
Very ironic that the person holding a "my child my choice" sign is actively advocating to take options and choices away from OTHER people's kids and families.
@KatyMontgomerie
It's weird how she thinks her saying "I'm female regardless of what someone else thinks" is any different from us saying the exact same thing.
@windupgemma
She used the magic of money and horrible UK libel laws to force an apology on threat of financial ruination.
Fortunately, those of us in other countries can easily say the truth: JK Rowling actively engaged in holocaust denial.
@Esqueer_
Also having grown up in it, it's mind boggling how much these people try to bring about the end of the world "to end suffering" instead of trying to make the world a better place for everyone, and actually reducing suffering.
@cassesque
I will! The most likely explanation is that they are intentionally minimizing patients that they see in an overt and intentional attempt to prevent patients from seeking/receiving ADHD care!
@art_of_adamj
@AriDrennen
The same thing they do at every other camp. A lot of them *would* go to normal camps, but assholes like you are too busy yelling at them to stay out of your spaces.
@Potatopolitics
I fully believe that this could be the case, but I also think that makes it even worse. If true, it's not bad design - it's malicious design.
@freespeech5657
@leakylike
So not only do you hate your own child enough to publicly denigrate her like this, you also abandoned her and kicked her out?
@thornhawthorne
It's even worse than that Goodwill actively filters out anything they can resell online for more now so it never even hits the store floor :(
@AriDrennen
@lightspeedsara
THIS.
I stayed alive before by thinking about how KMS would hurt others in my life.
Now I stay alive because I actually want to be here.
@CaelanConrad
It is cribbed from a form letter - because we rely on support networks to figure out how to put our feelings into words that others can understand.
I don't understand how people can have so. much. hate.
@whataboutthel
@heyyitsPolo
I'm reading her tweet again, and...it still looks like she put her book in a display it wasn't part of took a photo and lied on the internet about it being part of the display.
@AriDrennen
I still can't believe she thought the word was made up for her...
Like, she didn't realize that the term existed before her, and wasn't something to be proud of.
@shaun_vids
As an American it has been utterly terrifying to see how much sway Evangelical American policy institutes have over even liberal parties outside of the US :(.
@joss_prior
It is still utterly mind boggling that they are somehow obsessed with John Money as being some sort of "trans Icon" when he's universally reviled by the trans community.
@pajoritoenojade
@ZoAndBehold
Nothing says they view you like a real woman the way using a mean girl clique move against who they think is the unpopular girl.
@ClaireMax
So many people don't understand the ADHD moment of doing 6 hours of work in 2 hours of hyperfocus, not to get done early, but because you literally couldn't force yourself to do it until 2 hours before it needed to be done.
@KatysCartoons
We are supposed to care because the person who place 6th said it was unfair. Which...is bizarre, since she placed over 6000 positions ahead of the trans woman.
@CTVMontreal
Sounds like they F'd up and she knows she holds all the cards.
There's no reason why she should take anything less than a lifetime lease at a new place.
@AriDrennen
Did you forget that it was your constant duty to inform people about your sexuality? But also, at the same time you must never inform people about your sexuality so you aren't shoving it in their faces.
@futureseeing
@AlfUpATree
It is absolutely astounding that you are not only citing Hitler, but also using "the big lie" narrative *in exactly the same way he did*.
I did NAZI this coming...(ok, that's a lie, we saw the gc to Nazi turn coming from miles away).
@AriDrennen
The lawyer in me is reading this and thinking "all a cis woman has to do is choose not to compete and then sue Riley for the full prize money".
@wisedoogs
@SydneyLWatson
In both cases, the team of cis players won (8-1 for the men's teams, 7-0 for the women's teams).
Trans clearly dominating (sarcasm, obviously).
@Hbomberguy
You may be impressed by their size disparity, but *I'm* impressed by the fact that there are 56 of them, despite there only being 6 on the team.
@sacha_coward
The root of this is that the people framing it this way think that CisHet is the default. Everyone is CisHet until influenced otherwise.
No, that's not true - but that's what they think, and that's why this framing isn't convincing to them.
@Esqueer_
I'm conflicted. His show was obviously very bad representation. At the same time, it was the only way I knew trans people existed *at all* and it was the church that kept me in the closet until I was 39, not the Springer show.
@KimraLuna
@jessiegender
I dont think they will either, but I'm hoping for stronger than not budging. Give me a company overtly standing against bigotry, please.
@MTHouseGOP
@RepMattRegier
She has not been called to order.
She has not been censured.
You are refusing to let her speak for alleged violations of decorum that you clearly do not think warrant the mechanisms designed to rectify violations of decorum
1/2
@Esqueer_
I swear as a 1l, and then 15 years of practice after law school, I was never happy to see the rule against perpetuities be relevant until today
@CaelanConrad
"she just tweets nonsense from her castle." < - I like how for any sane person this would be hyperbole, but, no that bench is literally tweeting alone from her literal castle.
@Chican3ry
@AlanaFeral
I like the two modes of equally aggressive response...
A) I will FUCKING BREAK YOUR SHIT
and
B) *quietly* I will get the courts involved, and THEY will fucking break your shit.
@ThomasWillett9
The key question here is: "protect our children FROM WHAT"? His answer presupposes that transition is something that needs to be protected from. It starts from the assumption that transitioning is bad.
It is, at its core, a bigoted position.
@stacycay
I'm glad he's open with coming out now but, like, anyone familiar with HRT and who took 30 seconds to compare old pictures to now noticed, lol.
@halomancer1
Best one I had was about 6 months into transition, and there was an argument between the male and female scanner techs about whether I had "something strapped to my back" or "it's just a bra".
@ErinInTheMorn
(R): we had to break the rules to let this in cause we were running out of time!
(D): Why were you running out of time?
(R): We spent it all trying to discriminate against trans people, instead of passing good laws.
@ErinInTheMorn
She actually wrote "woke anti-women words" in the order.... *facepalm*
I'd like someone to challenge it as facially contradictory since it reduces womanhood to the ability to give birth.
@DrJenIzaakson
@ScotCuthbertson
No she isn't. Like, not even arguably or in pretense - nothing she does or says is even pretending to be protecting gay people.
@meganphelps
@analytic_footy
@waitbutwhy
And what about the harm you did *directly* to hundreds if not thousands of queer people through your online advocacy? Is your "redemption" worth all of their harm? Why do YOU get to decide that?
